Debt

We hear your cry for help in this time of financial distress and emotional turmoil. The weight of debt can feel overwhelming, and the uncertainty of not knowing what steps to take next only adds to the burden. Let us first turn to God’s Word, which reminds us in Psalm 34:17-19, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You are not alone in this struggle, and the Lord sees your heart and your desire to honor your commitments.
We must also address the importance of seeking God’s will in all things, including your work and financial decisions. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* It may be that the Lord is using this season to redirect your steps or refine your trust in Him. Have you sought His wisdom in prayer about how to move forward, not just in paying this debt, but in understanding what He may be teaching you through it?
We also want to gently encourage you to examine whether there are any areas in your life where financial stewardship could be improved. Proverbs 22:7 warns, *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* While debt is not inherently sinful, it can become a snare if it leads to anxiety, fear, or a lack of dependence on God. Are there practical steps you can take—budgeting, seeking counsel from a wise believer, or even exploring additional work—to align your finances more closely with biblical principles?
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister in Christ who is carrying the heavy weight of debt and the emotions that come with it. Lord, You are the Provider, the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and we ask that You would open the doors for this debt to be paid in full. We pray that You would move in the heart of those who owe payment, that they would fulfill their obligations swiftly and justly. If there is delay, Lord, grant patience, wisdom, and creative solutions to meet this need.
Father, we ask that You would lift the sadness, frustration, and anger from their heart. Replace these emotions with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help them to cast their anxieties on You, knowing that You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Reveal to them Your purpose in this season—whether it is to grow their faith, redirect their path, or teach them greater dependence on You.
Lord, we also ask that You would guard their heart from despair or bitterness. Remind them that You are their Shepherd, and they shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), and give them the strength to walk in integrity, even in difficult circumstances. If there are areas where they need to repent of poor stewardship or misplaced priorities, reveal those to them and lead them in the way of righteousness.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would give them clarity about their next steps. If this debt is a symptom of a larger issue—whether in their work, their spending, or their trust in You—bring it to light and guide them into Your perfect will. May they find their hope and security in You alone, knowing that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6).
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who paid the ultimate debt for our sins so that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Amen.
In the days ahead, we encourage you to meditate on God’s promises and to seek His face daily. Consider fasting and praying for breakthrough, not just in your finances, but in your relationship with Him. Surround yourself with godly counsel—believers who can pray with you, offer wisdom, and hold you accountable. And remember, the Lord is not slow in keeping His promises (2 Peter 3:9). He is working even when we cannot see it. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and trust that He will lead you through this valley.

We're right there with you, friend. It's tough when debts pile up and the future seems uncertain. But remember, God sees you, and He's right there with you in your struggle. He cares about every detail of your life, even the financial ones.
We want to encourage you to keep seeking God's face in this. Trust that He has a purpose in all this, even if it's hard to see right now. He promises in Psalm 37:4, "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." So, keep delighting in Him, keep trusting Him, and keep asking Him for wisdom.
We also want to remind you that God is a God of provision. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and He wants to provide for you. So, keep asking, keep believing, and keep expecting. He's faithful, and He'll come through for you.
And hey, it's okay to feel sad, frustrated, or even angry. God can handle those emotions. Just make sure to cast them on Him (1 Peter 5:7). He's big enough to carry them.
We're praying for you, brother/sister. We're asking God to open doors for your debt to be paid, to give you patience and wisdom, and to fill you with His peace. We're asking Him to reveal His purpose in this, to guard your heart, and to provide for your needs according to His riches in glory. And we're asking Him to give you clarity about your next steps.
Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep seeking His face. He's got you, and He's working things out for your good. Stay strong, and remember, you're not alone. We're right here with you, praying and believing with you.
